The game:
Movie Hangman is a wild treat for all iPhone and movie lovers alike. This game of guessing movie titles ranges from the romantic to the wild, the comic to the scary, the inspiring to the stylish, the classic, the famous, the not so famous but heart warming and many more. A collection of more than 1000 titles to play from.
How to play:
Unfilled blanks along with the virtual keyboard appear at the onset of the game.
1. Take your guess and if the alphabet is correct it gets filled in the correct blank.
2. If your guess is incorrect a virtual character starts getting hanged and is completely hanged on 10 incorrect tries.
3. You win if you guess the movie before the character gets hanged.
The score is generated and gets added to your existing score only if you complete the game with the correct guess.
Scoring Mechanism:
The scoring is dependent on two factors: The time taken and number of incorrect tries to guess the movie title.
Points earned = Multiplier * Earnings
The multipliers are categorized as 4 for 20 secs or less, 3(30 secs), 2(40 secs), 1(for 50 seconds and above).
If the time taken to solve is less than or equal to 20 seconds, then the multiplier value is 4.
Earnings = 10 - Number of incorrect tries.
For instance, before guessing the answer you get two letters wrong in the process then your earnings will be 10-2=8.
Let me explain through an example:
Consider a game where you finish in 20 seconds(so multiplier will be 4) and the number of incorrect tries are 2 before u get the answer right (so your earnings will be 10-2 = 8), hence your score will be 4*8=32 points.
